This is understood in other disciplines but for some reason not in golf except for putting. After studying the best players in the world swing the club and how their eye dominance effects their swing mechanics I know share that with you. Do you think is just a fluke that great players like Sorenstam, Allenby, Appleby, Durant, Duvall, Stenson and many more have a different looking swing motion? Their swings look different because they are different and that is because they are right eye dominant. I have never seen a book written for the majority of players who are right handed and right eye dominant. Starting in the early 1990's I started to study this phenomenon called eye dominance and know in about 2 hours you can learn how your eye dominance effects your swing. If you switch to a golf swing that fits your eye domiance you will be amazed how much easier it is to play golf, hit better shots and lower your scores.

“Jealous. That’s what I am. Green with golf envy…Why didn’t we think of that? I mean, what golfer worth his, or her, balls wouldn’t want to trade all the troubles of life for the adventure and privilege of teeing it up everywhere from the glacial volcanoes of the Andes to the Arctic Circle in Norway?”--from the foreword by Turk Pipkin At 47, David Wood sold everything he owned and set out to fulfill every golfer’s dream: For one year, he traveled the world (covering 60,000 miles and every continent except Antartica) by plane, boat, train, motorcycle and rickshaw, to play the game he loves in the most exotic locales, including the world’s highest, driest, hottest, coldest, and most remote golf courses, and lived to tell the tale. Along the way, he met a bevy of fascinating characters, including surly cabbies, taxi drivers with a death wish, welcoming golf course managers, threatening kangaroos, and golf pros out for a quick game. David faced dire situations, such as bouts of food poisoning in India and Egypt, altitude sickness in Argentina, getting booted out of the Ukraine by armed guards, and muddling through with limited language skills, but through it all he maintained a sense of humor and of course his passion for golf, which he played every chance he got.

A beloved New York Times bestselling author and golf aficionado shares his insatiable curiosity, trademark sense of humor, and vast knowledge of the game in this cavalcade of original pieces about why we love the sport, now featuring three additional new pieces. This is the book Rick Reilly has been writing in the back of his head since he fell in love with the game of golf at eleven years old. He unpacks and explores all of the wonderful, maddening, heart-melting, heart-breaking, cool, and captivating things about golf that make the game so utterly addictive. We meet the PGA Tour player who robbed banks by night to pay his motel bills, the golf club maker who takes weekly psychedelic trips, and the caddy who kept his loop even after an 11-year prison stint. We learn how a man on his third heart nearly won the U.S. Open, how a Vietnam POW saved his life playing 18 holes a day in his tiny cell, and about the course that's absolutely free. Reilly mines all of the game’s quirky traditions—from the shot of bourbon you take before you tee off at Peyton Manning’s course, to the way the starter at St. Andrews announces to your group (and the hundreds of tourists watching), “You’re on the first tee, gentlemen.” He means that quite literally: St. Andrews has the first tee ever invented. We’ll visit the eighteen most unforgettable holes around the world (Reilly has played them all), including the hole in Indonesia where the biggest hazard is monkeys, the one in the Caribbean that's underwater, and the one in South Africa that requires a shot over a pit of alligators; not to mention Reilly’s attempt to play the most mini-golf holes in one day. Reilly expounds on all the great figures in the game, from Phil Mickelson to Bobby Jones to the simple reason Jack Nicklaus is better than Tiger Woods. He explains why we should stop hating Bryson DeChambeau unless we hate genius, the greatest upset in women’s golf history, and why Ernie Els throws away every ball that makes a birdie. Plus all the Greg Norman stories Reilly has never been able to tell before, and the great fun of being Jim Nantz. Connecting it all will be the story of Reilly’s own personal journey through the game, especially as it connects to his tumultuous relationship with his father, and how the two eventually reconciled through golf. This is Reilly’s valentine to golf, a cornucopia of stories that no golfer will want to be without. **The Sports Librarian’s Best of 2022 – Sports Books**

Discover how to break 80 on the golf course You are about to discover how does a golfer break the 80 shot barrier? It is a question many golfers cannot answer. Oh, they may know the answer, but knowing it and doing it or very different things. The typical golf course is a par 72, which means that if a golfer never hits a bad shot, and two-putts on every green it will take him 72 shots to finish the 18 holes. The real answer to the question then is a golfer must putt well to break 80. The old saying "drive for show, putt for dough" is a cliché because it is true. So that is the simple answer. A golfer must for the most part, keep it in the fairway, get as much distance as possible and be able to putt well. So how does one accomplish this? First, realize that you have seven shots to play with when you start. 79 is seven over par, so a golfer has seven more bogeys to work with than birdies. This means that instead of trying to blast that drive to get to the green on the par four, you can lay up and get there in two and be fine. If you leave yourself with a long putt, leave it a little short rather than hit it too hard and have another long putt from the other side. In other words, play it smart. This all sounds easy, but it is far from it. Golf has been described as the most frustrating sport of all. One little mistake can ruin a round. One little flaw in a swing can cost a golfer many strokes. Players who play it well for years can for no reason at all get a case of "the shanks" where they cannot keep a ball straight or "The yips" when they cannot hit even a short putt. Many times the reason for this is mental. So how does a golfer get to the point where he/she can get consistent enough to give an 80 score a shot? Practice. Practice. Practice. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn... How to get started? What are the etiquette rules? What equipment to use? How to calculate yardage What is the proper stance?li> Much, much more!

The next time you play golf leave your woods at home, putt with your 2-iron, and you will be on your way to shooting in the 70s. Sounds radical? Well, you're right on par! Golf enthusiast Michael Laughlin, whose day job is in the film business, reveals his proven, but completely radical strategies that average golfers can use to dramatically lower their score. In Radical Golf, Laughlin rethinks how the game of golf is traditionally played and shares his surprising and innovative ideas on how to play better golf. Unlike the usual technique-riddled golf books, Radical Golf offers practical and easy-to-use tips, and is written for the legion of average players who will never have the long, crunching power game of the professional. "Golf is not a linear game," insists Laughlin, and "Scoring is definitely not related to advancing the ball as far as possible on each shot." In this fun and accessible book, the radical golfer contends, for example, that players should approach the pin much like basketball players maneuver to shoot a basket by striving to shoot from their best, or "sweet" spot on the court. Laughlin also suggests that golf should be played as two separate games (of tee-to-green and putts) and that golfers should keep a separate scorecard for their putting game. Equally radical, Radical Golf calls for using a 2-iron for putts rather than the "dreaded" putter (the loft of the 2-iron matches the putter, "Calamity Jane," of legendary golfer Bobby Jones). Hole by hole, sensible shot after sensible shot, Radical Golf simulates a round of golf with a pro to show how a radical golfer can stay within strokes of par play. Written in a witty and easy-to-understand style, with entertaining sidebars and line drawings, Radical Golf will revolutionize how golf is played both on and off the course. Most of all, Radical Golf will increase the enjoyment of playing this great and challenging game. Radical Golf is just the book that could become the bible of the weekend golfer.
